Dave After Dark: Yet Another Anti-Antisemitism Resolution Passed Local Zionist Republicans

Dave After Dark takes a hard look at a newly passed “anti-antisemitism” resolution—this time not from a legislature, but from within a local County Republican Party itself. Notably, this marks the fifth such resolution in just three years, raising serious questions about why these measures keep resurfacing and what purpose they actually serve at the grassroots level.

In this episode, Dave examines the language of the resolution, how it increasingly mirrors Zionist political talking points, and why local party organizations are adopting frameworks that conflate legitimate political, theological, or foreign-policy criticism with antisemitism. What does it mean when a party that claims to defend free speech repeatedly votes—again and again—for language that narrows it, especially at the county level where bottom-up activism is supposed to thrive?

The conversation then widens to Nostra Aetate, the Second Vatican Council document that reshaped Catholic–Jewish relations, and how its legacy is often misunderstood, selectively invoked, or politically weaponized in contemporary discourse. Finally, Dave addresses Holocaust Remembrance Day, asking whether remembrance has evolved into a civic ritual beyond scrutiny, insulated from historical context or honest discussion.

As always, Dave After Dark isn’t about shock for shock’s sake—it’s about interrogating power, repetition, and silence when the same resolutions keep passing and no one is allowed to ask why.
